Univen uses the standard 42-point APS scale based on your best 6 subjects excluding Life Orientation. That keeps the calculation familiar if you have already checked yourself against universities like UJ, UP, or NWU. The main thing that changes is the programme-level APS target.

Important Disclaimer

This APS calculator is for information only. We aim to be accurate based on public university requirements, but admission decisions are made by each university and may consider factors beyond APS scores.

We do not guarantee admission based on our calculations. Requirements may change, and universities may consider additional criteria such as:

  • Portfolio submissions, interviews, or entrance tests
  • Specific subject requirements and combinations
  • Language proficiency requirements
  • Availability of spaces in programs

Always verify admission requirements directly with the universities you're applying to. Use this tool as a starting point, not a definitive guide for applications.
